You're A Flower In My Garden
Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Tania Kitchin

3rd place in the contest

I am a delight to your garden, emerging strong and radiant A neat eye-catcher behind the white picket fence where chipmunks have spectacular panoramic views for miles Don't miss my show time from November through April I prefer a soft start of the season, melt your frozen winter heart My family tree has long roots,the oldest bulbs originally belonged in Turkey ... long before I became a tulip bulbs But since the dawn of time,there has never been anyone as me I stand out with color and volume A outstanding source of nectar for butterflies, bees and birds and create your garden pollinator-friendly I am a purple tulip that symbolizes the unconventional and adventurous

A lovely poem to read this evening as we are on the verge of spring ... Tulips sure do "melt your frozen winter heart". They are always the first flowers to emerge here every spring... Several green tulip stems are coming up already in my flower bed :)
